Two crowns whisper. Two kingdoms bleed. And prophecy demands a union neither heir can escape.
Princess Serenya of the Crimson Court has been trained since birth to turn beauty into a weapon. Behind silk and ceremony, she is her mother's sharpest blade-calculated, ruthless, and determined to rule a throne that has already tasted too much blood.
Prince Kaelith of the Ashen Dominion is cursed with every death in his kingdom. Each loss tears through his body like fire, and the only way to silence the agony is to conquer. He was never meant to be merciful-only merciless.
When a prophecy binds their fates, a marriage is forged between blood and ash. But this is no union of love-it is a weapon sharpened by history, vengeance, and crowns that hunger for more than power. In halls dripping with silk and secrets, Serenya and Kaelith must play a game of seduction and betrayal, even as their kingdoms burn around them.
Some oaths cannot be broken. Some desires cannot be denied.
And some crowns will consume their heirs before they ever sit upon them.
Blood and Crowns is a dark fantasy of treachery, prophecy, and dangerous desire-perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, R.F. Kuang, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
